"Transitioning to a JVP allowed me to focus more on what I truly value "

A man, smartly dressed stood in front of OutsideClinic branding and behind a table full of freebies - chocolates, OutsideClinic branded bags, pens.

Stephen Pollock

Originally from Northern Ireland, Stephen moved to Glasgow to study Optometry in 2006. After working in high street opticians, he gained his first experience in domiciliary optometry with Healthcall Optical, seeing patients in their care homes, private homes, and hospitals.

He found this work deeply rewarding, especially the extra time spent with patients and making a significant impact on those who had limited access to eyecare. 

When Stephen Pollock transitioned to a Joint Venture Partner (JVP) with OutsideClinic, he seized the opportunity to expand his professional impact. Stephen has grown to become our largest business partner, leading a team of three full-time optometrists and benefiting from our extensive support network.

  • Scotland's leading partner

    Since becoming a partner, Stephen hasn’t just expanded his reach across Scotland – he’s built the largest business in our partner network.

  • Long-term care

    Building trust is central to his approach. Invited into homes year after year, he’s formed lasting relationships – including one with a lady he’s visited regularly since his very first day in 2012.

  • Thriving in business & life

    With the backing of OutsideClinic’s expert team, Stephen has achieved impressive business growth – all while enjoying greater freedom and a better work-life balance.

  • The model was attractive as with Care Opticians, the business had reached a point where a larger proportion of my time was spent away from testing. With HR, VAT, payroll, scheduling and more looked after by OutsideClinic, it's freeing me up to focus on looking after our patients and growing the business.
